Good to see how that is done rough shaping and drying the wood. I always wondered what everyone did to dry the green wood for the bowl or platter or any other rough turning green wood.

I have to say that this is my all time favourite video of yours Mike. This is where I gotten inspiration to try a couple hollowed pieces with a spindle gouge. Question for you; when you were turning the bottom finial and went to make the tenon to fit in, you had some tearout from the parting tool. I get that occasionally. Any idea what causes that?

@MikeWaldt

7 жыл бұрын

Hi Corey, and thank you. It comes with the territory when using a parting tool I feel. However, if you "plunge" cut first this reduces, and even can eliminate the small amount of tear out. Here's a link to a video which shows this very well, watch from 1.14 if that's all you want to see, but the whole video is well worth a watch. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pYVqr9qhqtyWf6Q.html Hope this helps a bit Cheers Mike

Looks great Mike. At the 11:36 mark your left thumb is near the joint where the base of the top finial joins the top of the globe portion. Below the top finial there is a small band of white then a dark line or accent band. Can you tell me how you did the darker accent band. Thank you for your time. I know the video is 3-4 years old but the ornament is great. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours Mike! Ron
